[Tinashe]
Creativity is one of the most important things in my life
It's about vibing out in my own space
Feeling like I can tap into the part of me that doesn't judge
And just goes with whatever I'm feeling or thinking at the moment
I like to be creative in many aspects
From painting to writing to making videos
You truly have to go with whatever you're feeling
You can't plan it
There's no step-by-step to follow
There isn't a formula for how it's done
You really just have to follow your instincts
It's all about tapping into your natural instincts
I find inspiration in relationships, the culture, nature
Everything around me
And then I just kind of live with it for a while
And go from there and see where it takes me
I truly love the challenge of trying to make something out of nothing
Sometimes it's really not fun
Sometimes it's definitely painful
But that's the beauty of the creative process
You just have to go with it
I started making music as long as I could make noise
Music provides an escape for me
An escape from my day-to-day
An escape from anything that's going on in my life
It just allows me to go away into a place of pure creativity
I know when a song is done when I get that satisfied feeling
That I know that there's nothing left that I could fix or change or make better
I know that it's finished
I'm Tinashe and I'm a writer
I'm an artist
I'm a creator
And that is my very favorite title
Honestly I'm in it,the long run, just begun
'Bout a year in on this album one, nearly done
Hopefully when I hit 21 I'll be on
f** with me, let's have a little fun
Some people wasn't feeling me
Said I was being naive
Following my feelings
Trusting my own instincts
I put in that overtime
Steady keeping up the grind
Now I'm about to blow your mind
Race ya to the finish line
Woohoohoo
